The Tyumen region is one of the leaders of national economic development. At the end of 2017 the region was on the first place in the National Investment Climate Ranking. Over the last 10 years, the volume of industrial production of the region increased by more than three times, and the region holds the second place in country by this indicator. For the 9 months of 2018, the industrial production index amounted to 109.7%.

The volume of investments in the fixed capital increased by 43.8% in the first half of 2018, the turnover of small and medium enterprises increased by 13.4% in 2017, the export volume increased by almost 43% in 2017. The number of exporters also has grown. While in 2016 there were 138 exporters, in 2017 there were already 161 exporters.

According to Alexander Moor, Governor of the Tyumen region, the team is the main component of the investment attraction and working with the investors. “An investor, coming into the territory, encounters many local, regional and federal authorities. While performing their functions, everyone has to understand that working with the investors remains the main task. Everyone in their segment of activity has to be extremely client-oriented and regard the entrepreneur not as a holder of money but as a partner, a person who helps the authorities to address the issues of socio-economic development of the region.” considers Alexander Moor.
